Chapter 61

"Ancestor? Could this thousand-year-old ancient corpse be from the Earth Corpse Sect?!"

The crowd's faces changed drastically as they looked into the pit. The black coffin inside suddenly opened its eyes, and with a thought, the black coffin began to float.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four resounding sounds of hard steel breaking, the coffin actually broke free from the red iron chains that bound its four corners, then moved forward and stood upright.

The corpse's eyes were blood-red, and its blue-green face was filled with an unusual excitement.

"A thousand years, a full thousand years! Old Ghost Xuantian, you designed to trap me here and successfully killed me, but you made a mistake. I had already reached the stage of human-corpse integration back then. Ha ha, you are dead, but I, the Ancestor of the Red Corpse, am still alive!" As he spoke, the Red Corpse's face was full of anger, staring at the skeleton in the corner of the pit. A flash of blood light in his eyes, a red stream instantly exploded on the skeleton, turning it into powder.

The Red Corpse Ancestor, the grand elder of the Earth Corpse Sect a thousand years ago! He was a genuine Tian Gang stage powerhouse, and apparently even at the fifth level of Tian Gang!

The crowd instantly drew a sharp breath!

The worst off was Liu Ruyan, who was already trembling all over, her face pale.

"Ghost Painter, you've been in and out of this place many times before, haven't you? And you deliberately led us here, right? Your purpose was to lure Zhan Bai to draw the sword, wasn't it?"

Qin Feng's face darkened, and he asked coldly.

By now, the crowd finally understood why the Ghost Painter of the Earth Corpse Sect had mixed into their group and led them here. It was to find someone who could draw the Tai Xuan Eight Extremes Sword and thus rescue the Red Corpse trapped here.

Moreover, the news of treasures in the Blood Fork Temple was likely deliberately leaked by the Ghost Painter, and the bodies scattered on the ground were probably those who failed to draw the sword and were killed to cover up the evidence.

"Right, it's me. The Blood Fork Temple only appears here once every thousand years, and the first person to learn of it and enter was me! I originally intended to hide among you, bring you here, and incite you to draw the sword. If successful, great; if not, the outcome would be the same as theirs. But I didn't expect you to be such an anomaly, identifying me early. However, it doesn't matter, because no one who comes here can resist the fatal temptation of a supreme treasure! As expected, Zhan Bai drew the sword, and now you are no longer useful. Just die obediently, ha ha..."

The Ghost Painter laughed wildly, about to make a move, but his laughter abruptly stopped, and his head fell to the ground!

It was so fast, so fast that no one could react!

So fast that the Ghost Painter didn't even know how he died!

The one who came was a flying sword, its speed like lightning, flashing and disappearing, then heading straight for the Red Corpse Ancestor.

Supreme treasure, the Tai Xuan Eight Extremes Sword!

With the Ghost Painter dead, his life-bound corpse naturally couldn't survive. The large coffin behind him fell to the ground with a loud thud, and the life-bound corpse inside instantly rotted.

The crowd knew the one who came was Zhan Bai!

Before he arrived, the sword came first!

The sword was fast, sharp, and piercing!

No need for any changes, a single strike could pierce the sky and slay evil!

"Brat, I didn't expect you to really subdue the Tai Xuan Eight Extremes Sword!"

The death of the Ghost Painter didn't cause much emotional fluctuation in the Red Corpse. Instead, Zhan Bai's attack made the Red Corpse's eyes narrow, reminding him of the old Eight Extremes Ghost from long ago.

"Really similar...!"

The Red Corpse snorted coldly, his eyes filled with gravity! Clearly, this old corpse demon was very wary of this sword!

However, the Red Corpse was not like the Ghost Painter!

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he turned his body, positioning the bottom plate of the coffin under him to face the direction of the Tai Xuan Eight Extremes Sword.

"Really the Tai Xuan Eight Extremes Sword!"

Qin Feng and the others, though they had some suspicions, were still secretly amazed at how much Zhan Bai had gained. However, the sword has a spirit, and it goes to those with a connection, so Zhan Bai's acquisition was well-deserved!

This was a matter of personal fortune, so everyone could only feel envious.

Of course, this was also because the few people present had good character. If it were those hypocritical scoundrels, the outcome would be uncertain.

With Zhan Bai's assistance, the crowd's spirits were lifted, and they eagerly awaited Zhan Bai to slay the Red Corpse Ancestor with his sword.

But—

An unexpected event occurred!

The sword was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived! A silver arc of light directly struck the bottom board of the coffin where the Red Corpse lay, causing a loud "bang" and a cloud of dust. However, the flying sword unexpectedly flew back!

At this moment, Zhan Bai also entered, pointing at the flying sword, which instantly moved around him like a joyful dragon, protecting him. The flying sword was impressive, with a streamlined shape, its body glowing and dazzling!

What a great sword!

Truly a world-class great sword!

Everyone marveled in their hearts. But such a great sword couldn't even cut through a coffin?

The crowd found it hard to believe!

But the fact was right before their eyes. After the dust settled, the Red Corpse Ancestor still stood in the air, and the coffin remained unharmed.

"This coffin?"

Everyone now guessed that this coffin was not a simple object.

It might even be a powerful evil treasure!

"Ha ha, the Tai Xuan Eight Extremes Sword is indeed powerful, but it is merely a supreme treasure. However, there is a class of treasures whose existence transcends the realm of mystic artifacts and treasures. They have a mysterious origin, existing since ancient times, even from the primordial era. They are extremely rare, with only a few hundred in the vast lands of Qingxuan. Do you know what the unremarkable broken coffin under me is? It ranks 74th on the list of the 79 ancient evil weapons—

"The Heavenly Demon Blood Fork Coffin!"

"The Heavenly Demon Blood Fork Coffin?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd was stunned, clearly not having heard of it before. Even Zhan Bai was unfamiliar with the name. However, Qin Feng's eyes flickered, indicating that he had some knowledge of the Heavenly Demon Blood Fork Coffin.

To be honest, this knowledge was thanks to his master.

However, Qin Feng had only heard his master mention it in passing, a few brief words.

He only knew the name of the 79 ancient evil weapons but did not know the details of each one and their rankings. However, Qin Feng's impression was deep because when Qin Aotian mentioned the 79 ancient evil weapons, his eyes were filled with deep fear.

Clearly, the legends about them were not just a little terrifying!

Although the others were not well-versed in this, could something called a Heaven-Slaying Evil Weapon be weak? Just seeing Zhan Bai's shocking strike, which left not even a scratch on the coffin, was too incredible.

"How can we fight this?!"

In an instant, the crowd's morale plummeted to the lowest point.

At this moment—

Qin Feng suddenly reminded them, "Everyone, don't be deceived by his appearance. This demon has been trapped here for a thousand years, and to survive, he has had to expend his own essence, barely clinging to life! Moreover, he has been weakened by the Tai Xuan Eight Extremes Sword, and his current strength is on par with ours. He just has a higher realm and more sophisticated means. But if we work together, we can defeat him!"

"Moreover..."

Before Qin Feng could finish, the Red Corpse's face suddenly changed, and he became completely enraged!

Having his true nature exposed by Qin Feng, he naturally hated Qin Feng with a vengeance. A demonic voice rang in everyone's ears, "Brat, you talk too much, time to die!"

With that, a red stream shot from his eyes, splitting into five parts mid-air, each heading toward the five people present. The red stream aimed at Qin Feng was particularly thick, clearly out of deep hatred, wanting to tear him apart!

Thus, Qin Feng received extra "care"!

The attack was very strange and extremely fast, leaving no time to dodge.

Tu Zheng was hit by the red stream, exploding into a red puddle of blood. When he slowly reformed, he was severely injured and unconscious.

Hua Ruyan was hit directly, turning into a cloud of blood and dying instantly.

Shi Yuan was also hit, but fortunately, she had a high-grade defensive mystic artifact vest. With a "crack," the vest shattered and was rendered useless.

Though she was severely injured and unconscious, she managed to survive.

Qin Feng's face changed, and he immediately launched a Nine Devouring Fire, which collided with the red stream in mid-air, exploding.

This fire dissipated about half of the red stream, and the remaining part split into two, coming at him fiercely!

Life was at stake, and Qin Feng had no time to hesitate. He immediately released his bloodline soul, and the two snake heads each swallowed a part of the red stream.

On the other side, Zhan Bai's flying sword easily defended against the red stream.

After this attack, only Qin Feng and Zhan Bai remained standing in the field.
